Viaduc du Millau

Departing Carcassonne after noon, we have lunch at the nearest small town in the Corbieres wine region, Lezignan-Corbieres. At a small café filled with locals, we enjoy a guitar player and good outdoor lunch.

 

 

There is one planned stop today and that is the famous Viaduct de Millau. Since seeing a documentary on its construction, this has been on CJ's bucket list. It's a weird engineer thing. It is one of the tallest bridges in the world.

It is past 7:30 when we arrive at our hotel, La Troubadour, in Rocamandour.  Although it seems CJ blew his driving time limit today, it is really only a 4.5 hour driving day.

 

 And cassoulet yet again.
